| Other Information: |
With my first batch that made it past meta, spawned 7-01-09, I left them in the larval tank for an extra month. I thought they had died and I let the phyto take over. I tried culturing copepods in the tank, just for fun, and had no luck. It turned out that the 3 remaining fry were consuming the copepods. I transferred them to the grow out tank around 9-28-09. I've managed to get a higher amounts past the meta point with each consecutive batch. The first three have since been sold and the next group is about ready for sale. |
